Horesepower needed to beat a bike

[Nawsad123]

I have a buddy with a 1300awhp gtr that blows by rockets on the highway. 60 roll 80 roll it doesnt matter. He did spend close to 6 figures in mods to get it at that level (omega kit)

1000-1100 hp to the wheel will definitely have you keeping up.

I foresee a motor build in my future!

and the thing is a $9-12,000 bike can do it over and over and over and over and over till the sun flames out. On a $300/pair of tires.

OP it depends what you want to beat them at. I beat a buddy I work with on a 15 hyabusa in a 1/4 mile drag race. Last year at a track rental. I had about 800whp. I have an nhra license. so I killed him at the tree and never looked back. We both ran 10.0s. Only difference was I trapped 140. He trapped 147. It totally depends on the rider. Ricky Gaston races at my home track. Don’t race him! I’d say 900 wheel will get you a similar trap to a bike in the 1/4.

As they say, if you have to ask you can't afford it - well at least I can't! You will need a McLaren P1 and they run about $1.2MM

And remember..thats assuming stock...on a 20k bike. (Brand new max). If they have any real mods and a tune on the bike..its over. Lol. Bmw s1000rr sprint p08 air filter..full akrapovic titanium exhaust..and brentuning stage 3 tune. See ya!

Yeah, but the price comparison is a bit inequivalent - sure, a bike faster for cheaper - it's got no roof, no storage, minimal passenger capability, no climate control, poor foul weather capability.

That's why the comparison is sort of silly, I mean, my boat was way faster than a Bugatti Veyron in the intracoastal ...

I tell my same buddy with the busa that my Jeep would beat him in a race. All I have to do is race him across a farmers field.

Hahaha, yeah, my 4Runner with a lift and 33"s would kill a Corvette over on the beach

full akrapovic titanium exhaust

Goddammit, that's glorious ...

 

[MaskedRacerX]

I had a Ti exhaust on my S2K, crazy product made by Amuse, like $3300 retail, I "stole" it for like $1K from a guy doing an emergency sell on his car.

Stock system was like ~65lbs, this Ti system was < 20lbs!

 

[MaskedRacerX]

Sorry, continuing the off-topic, but f*** it

My Z06 had a Ti stock, and it's not an easy to weld material, but I had my stock system converted to have a Ti bypass tube (so some exhaust didn't go through the canister, but directly out), sounded __crazy__.

Goddammit, that's glorious ...

Tis what i put on any bike i own nowadays

Where you can take even good riders much easier is in the twisties. On my favorite twisty road, I drag the (shortened) pegs of my MT-10 at 60, and I can take it at that same speed on my Bullitt at less than 1.0G. Hauling a$$, but without drama. On the bike, you're going all out, so you have to know what you're doing (as mentioned, not many riders can ride a bike to its limits safely). Yeah, a hyper-sport might beat my heavy Bullitt, but not a more capable sports car. As a comparison, an F1 car laps COTA in 1:35 sec, and a MotoGP in 2:00 (both records), so an eternity more. A P1 did it in about 2:17, for comparison. Couldn't find info on a S1000RR, but should be many seconds north of that.

Ill have to look up records, and times for 2020, but i saw some people doing 2:10 on the 2016 s1000rr at COTA. Similar times for the competition, mainly the gsxr1000

Looking at the 1/4 and 100-150 times, It seems like that's $1.2 mill worth of better aero.

Didn't that dude have a YT channel? It was all hilarious videos like that?

 

[JoeSTi]

Ive got a few vids on my channel racing fast cars on my bikes. My s1k stock trapped like 150mph. My h2 is probably closer to the 180mph trap range. Here's one of me spanking a sheepy race twin turbo lambo on my H2.
